Nat Geo People HD at 17:20 and 23:00

14-year-old Jade is a Melbourne schoolgirl who embarks on a bold bid to become the youngest human to trek to the North Pole. Convinced success will inspire teenage girls everywhere to break free of society’s limiting expectations, she battles bitter cold, perilously thin ice and constant fatigue and selfdoubt to achieve her goal. With experienced polar guide, Eric Philips, and her father, Paul, she has strong support but has no idea if she has what it takes to survive the challenges.
